There is only so much music you can't dance to...

And one of those songs is by Paul Robeson, "So thats why God made darkies!". I was asked to get this song, and it worried me. Then again, I was also asked to get the two Von Trapp Family movies, by the same person.

For those of you who don't know who they are, do you remember "The Sound of Music"? The Von Trapp family were the main characters. They went on to make two more movies.

I don't know, though. I really wanted to get "The Goonies" first.

Ah well. This week I have mostly been listening to..... nothing in particular, maybe a bit of "Wilt".

I sat down this weekend and watched a couple of movies.

I watched Elektra and I was stunned..... I thought it was absolute pants, it sucked the egg right out of the shell.
I watched Kung Fu Hustle and I loved it.... a thoroughly cheesey movie that pays homage to all the old martial arts flicks with a comic side.

And don't ever say.... "Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Monday's!"

Welcome back to the world....

Eh oh Po!!!!

Well, well, well.... They are back and there is nothing anyone can do aboot it! Thats right, the scottish brother is back and he is not alone. My brother is back from Scotland and he is accompanied by his fiancé(don't know if I need the fada on the e) and a load of her mates.

Anyways, its been a while since I updated this so I better explain a few things and recap the previous days...

We had a long weekend and a lot of it was spent looking into the bottles.
Another of my brother's arrived home from abroad on the Thursday and we went out for a few drinks too many that night. He headed off the next day to the west of Ireland to go canoe-dling, where-as I had to go to work.

Friday night was spent out on the town to start off the long weekend. It was a good night spent visiting a lot of old haunts(The Woolshed, Fibber's and Sin É) before retiring home to pass out.

Saturday night was spent in pretty much the same manner, although there was a bit more beer and a lot less sleeping(Tekken tournaments).

Sunday was a day of recovery and wondering how the previous day was possible.... its not, without a price.

On monday, myself and a few mates headed down to Co. Wicklow to a lovely spot called Glendalough. We went for a stroll across the mountains and then headed down to the lovely loughs there and sat beside them and chatted on all things geeky(cheese, cameras, world politics). Then we headed back and settled in knowing it had been a good weekend.

Not too sure where to go with this blog so its going nowhere.

Bye!
